DWS-1008 User's Manual
A DWS-1008 switch contains nonvolatile storage. MSS allows you to manage the files in
nonvolatile storage. In addition, you can copy files between the switch and a TFTP server on
the network.

About System Files

Generally, a switch's nonvolatile storage contains the following types of files:
• System image files - The operating system software for the switch and its attached
access points
• Configuration files - CLI commands that configure the switch and its attached access
points
• System log files - Files containing log entries generated by MSS.
When you power on or reset the switch or reboot the software, the switch loads a designated
system image, then loads configuration information from a designated configuration file.
A DWS-1008 switch can also contain temporary files with trace information used for
troubleshooting. Temporary files are not stored in nonvolatile memory, but are listed when
you display a directory of the files on the switch.
